Who Needs DRAM? We Have Fiber
alechammond · hn · 2026-07-14
This is an arXiv paper titled Who Needs DRAM? We Have Fiber, exploring a system concept that uses fiber/optical interconnects to restructure memory hierarchies or storage paths.
As the title suggests, it investigates whether shifting certain "memory" functions to fiber-based architectures could fundamentally alter our traditional reliance on DRAM. As a research paper, its core value lies in proposing a novel direction for system and hardware architecture.
